I recently went to Family Dollar to make a purchase. I walked into the store and acquired the items I required: a Diet Coke and a poncho. Upon cashout, the cashier lady attempted to place the Diet Coke and the poncho into separate bag receptacles. And here is where we pick up the conversation.

Says me: “You can put it in the same bag as the soda.”
Says her: “It will get wet.”
Says me: “It is a poncho.”

She looked at me with an odd expression, I believe her thinking something along the lines of, “Silly boy.” But then, as she pondered my reasoning, she could not deny it’s validity and good sense. And so she placed the poncho into the same bag receptacle as the Diet Coke. And I was on my way. For you see, a poncho is an item constructed with the sole intent of becoming wet. It is its purpose and design.

And that is my story for you today.

On this day…
